“In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.” — Mothe

About Me

“The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.”
— Mother Teresa
“If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.”
— Mother Teresa

I'm "for" love:
Going for a PhD in psychology, I've come to the conclusion that I know absolutely nothing, especially about others, except that when I set myself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge, I'm shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.
...But I think maybe we're all here to love.
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself you have built against it."
— Jalal ad-Din Rumi
I never want to regret giving my heart. Because if someone can't give us what our hearts need and when we're with people who don't make us happy enough, things have a way of working themselves out, right?
I have always been attracted to independent, strong, in-control, funny, spunky, sassy, self-willed, and intelligent women - particularly brunettes.
...Although I think that preference stems from a childhood crush on Princess Leia.
I believe it's better to fail by trying than to fail by not trying. Because failure isn't the regret that haunts most people - it's the choice not to risk failure at all...we can never guarantee success in our lives since every attempt at anything holds within it the possibility of failure.
We can never guarantee success. We can only guarantee failure by choosing not to try at all.
I believe the female orgasm is the most beautiful thing in existence; especially the blissful look on a woman's face when it happens: eyes closed, mouth slightly open, back arched. If I could narrow down the moments in my life when I've been the happiest, it would be those times.
I believe that it's better to be too rough than too refined. But a little refinement is a good thing.
I believe in what Gandhi said, that the best way to save the world is one person at a time.
And we all can learn how to climb that mountain.
Because you have to keep climbing.
And I will eventually pick up a black Honda Shadow cruiser motorcycle & ride it across the country (and through Europe if I can figure out how to get it there). And I'd like to get a dog & name him Hemingway. Probably will get a sidecar for my bike & take him with me.
I also will travel and experience the world. So fun!
I'd rather regret jumping...than being too scared to ever jump. So come jump with me. ...If you want to.
I want to believe that there is beauty inside everyone.
And I want to believe it's never too late to keep trying.
Or to forgive.
I want to believe every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
Have you ever been up on a mountain at night?
The stars seem really clear and really bright.
And the air feels fresh.
And it's like your soul is washed clean?
I try to feel like that all the time.

My Interests



A lover asked his beloved,
"Do you love yourself more
than you love me?"

The beloved replied,
"I have died to myself
and I live for you.

I've disappeared from myself
and my attributes.
I am present only for you.

I've forgotten all my learning,
but from knowing you
I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength.
But from your power
I am able.

If I love myself
I love you.
If I love you
I love myself."

— Jalal ad-Din Rumi

"The way you make love is the way God will be with you."
— Jalal ad-Din Rumi

"Life is short. Be swift to love! Make haste to be kind!"
— Henri Frederic Amiel

CURRENT MOON about the moon

"Even one's moderation should be done in moderation."
— Jillian

"Meden agan."

"Maybe I was too intense?"
"Maybe I came on too strong.... I don't know...I really can't say."
"Yeah, it was lonely, really lonely... but you... you get used to it....after a while...."

"I don't love you because I need you. I need you because I love you."

Maybe we can best love ourselves by being with the right person who can show us the love we need and accept us for who we truly are.
We all need to be loved and to belong.
Even in Maslow's hierarchy of needs, "Love & Belongingness" was needed before "Esteem" and "Self-Actualization."
Men have a higher suicide rate than women because they have less of a social network.
Alaska, the state with the highest suicide rate, is the one where people are the most isolated.
People who own dogs are less anxious, less lonely, and live longer.
Babies who don't get enough human touch end up getting sick and dying.
There is even God's love for those that believe.
We all need to be loved to help us better love ourselves.
And in my humble opinion, being in an honest, romantic relationship (with a compatible person) helps us do that the best.

That is why if anyone asks me, Love is my religion.
And I think maybe if we all could love ourselves and each other a little more, the world would be a lot better place.

"First I dream my painting, then I paint my dream."
– Vincent van Gogh

My friend David is my hero. He gave me the following advice:
"Life is truly most difficult for those who truly care. Empathy is as much a blessing as it is a curse. You see Cody, you cannot allow your empathy to make you unhappy. The purpose of life is to, if anything, be happy. To deny yourself happiness is neither wise nor healthy. As Aristotle said, 'Everything in moderation.' You have to have enough empathy so that you can understand others and see things from their perspective, yet you do not want to have so much empathy that you are unable to divorce yourself from the mistakes or problems of others. To be subjected to another's mistakes or problems is not freedom, it is slavery. Free yourself."
Superman lost an entire planet while Batman just lost his parents, yet Superman retained his optimism. Batman looks to punishment and sees the evil selfish nature of people and Superman looks to redemption and sees the good in people. Batman is about angst. Superman is about hope.
Despite all of the heartbreak and pain, I will always try to be like Superman.
